BEYOND THE SACRED MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL Tucson, AZ – Beyond The Sacred Music & Arts Festival, a three-day event celebrating all things Sacred, showcasing some of the most important underground musicians and cutting-edge local and international visionary artists. This is a grassroots event created and inspired by artists and musicians, who have come together in celebration of Sacred Machine’s three-year anniversary. ART: Fifteen local and world-renowned artists from Scotland, New Zealand, and across the U.S. converge on Tucson at Sacred Machine. Participating artists work has appeared in and been commissioned by The New York Times, Juxtapoz Magazine, Hi-Fructose Magazine, Time Magazine, The Washington Post, LA Times, the Academy Award winning movie 'Traffic' by Steven Soderbergh, on multi-platinum album covers, illustrated children’s books, published monographs, and advertising for clients such as Sony and Toyota. “These artists are so multi-talented that some even play in rock bands and create videos. With their work they have imbued apocalyptic prophecies, shaken the norms of conventional iconography and written books, museums and collectors such as Madonna acquire their work, they exhibit their art across the globe, some self-taught, some professors, some outsiders, but one thing is certain, the group as a whole has influenced, and is seriously rocking the art world.” Paula Catherine Valencia, Curator of Sacred Machine MUSIC: The event also joins forces with a unique group of underground and highly innovative musicians, whose mutual admiration has spawned what they call “an epic event of music and drama” and who seek to push the envelope of acceptable norms, melding genres, shattering molds, and making an artistic statement. The show promises to offer an experience that stimulates the senses, both aurally and visually.

Well knock on wood, it's your lucky day! Sacred Machine Presents Thirteen, the tiny show that packs a powerful punch, lending itself to ungodly forms of superstitious enigmas. These works of a mysterious nature are completely, utterly, and unforgivingly about superstitions and the superstitious way we hold onto superstitions, the supernatural, the mystical, and the bizarre.
